A magnetic disc device of half-height type has a base, four magnetic discs disposed one above the other on the base, five head arms rotatable about a pivot for seeking motion on both surfaces of each magnetic disc, eight magnetic heads each attached to an end of the head arm through springs facing a surface of each disc, a rotational drive unit for swinging the head arms, a main printed circuit board disposed on a rear side of the base, and a cover which covers an upper surface of the base.

Magnetic disc device

A divided housing for supporting magnetic disk devices therein is described. The housing is separated into a shell which supports a magnetic disk pack and a magnetic head positioner, and a cover to close the opening of the shell. Spindles of the disk pack and the head positioner are respectively held at opposite ends by ball bearings. Supporting holes for supporting the bearings are formed in side walls of the shell facing each other with one boring process. The centers of the bearings are aligned precisely coaxial to each other. The plane which separates the housing into the shell and the cover intersects the side walls almost parallel to the line connecting the center of both spindles, but away from those supporting bearings. The supporting holes are perface circles, and the open edge of the shell has no cut-in portion or grooves. This increases mechanical stength of the shell, and assures a stable holding of the spindles. Therefore, the reliability of the magnetic disk device is improved.

Divided housing for supporting magnetic disks

A magnetic disc device comprising a case composed of a base and a cover; a plurality of magnetic discs housed within the case; a plurality of magnetic heads for read/write operations and conducting a seeking motion on each magnetic disc surface; and arms for driving the magnetic heads, wherein a recess for accommodating a printed circuit board is formed on the outer surface of the base in an area outside of the range of movement of the magnetic heads and the arms.

Compact magnetic disc assembly

An encoder motor comprising: an encoder incorporated in the encoder motor, for carrying out positional detection and having an encoder code wheel fitted to a motor rotary shaft of the encoder motor; a coil formed as a moving coil movable together with the motor rotary shaft; a magnet operative with respect to the moving coil; and a bobbin in the form of cylinder on which the moving coil is disposed. The bobbin is arranged concentrically with respect to the motor rotary shaft and directly fixed to the code wheel of the encoder.
